Hadalka Wasiir Maareeye ayaa ku soo aadaya xili xasaasi ah oo bulshada qaarkood ay shiki badan ka qabeen in wax ka qaldan yihiin tirada xad dhaafka ah ee la sheegay inuu dalka ku dilay Coronavirus.

Iyada oo dad badana ay aaminsan yihiin in hadalka Maareeye uu cadeyn u yahay in dowladdu liiska dhimashada iskaga darsato dad badan oo aan la marin hubin caafimaad oo la xiriirta cudurkaasi, inkasta oo Wasiirada caafimaadku ay dhowr jeer ku dooday in qofkasta oo liiska Coronaha ku jira lagu shaaciyay kadib markii baaritaan la mariyo. Hadalka Wasiir Maareeye ee uu ku sheegay in ‘dowladdu qof kasta oo dhinta u aqoonsan tahay inuu dilay Coronavirus’, ayaa sidoo kale soo shaac bixinaya qorshe culus oo ay ka leedahay dowladda federaalku, kaasi oo lagu rabo in xad ka bax laga dhigo tirada dhimashada ee cudurkaasi, iyada oo aan la xaqiijin.

On the occasion of International Workers Day, the Federation of Somali Trade Unions (FESTU) has today called upon the Federal Government, the Federal Member States and the private sector employers to scale up efforts to guarantee their protection and ensure the provision of incentives for the frontline workers. The federation said these frontline workers, which include health workers, journalists, government officials, transport employees, workers in the informal economy and security forces, have in some instances gone the extra mile beyond the demands of their duty to embody a Somali spirit just to save lives and protect our poorly resourced healthcare system. FESTU has particularly demanded a sufficient supply of personal protective equipment (PPEs) and hand sanitizers for workers, especially the frontline workers. In addition, the trade union umbrella body said functional hygienic wash rooms, suitable and safe rest rooms and other facilities must be made accessible to ensure that workers and in particular frontline workers are safe, protected and empowered to carry out their duties efficiently. “Our survival literally depends on their ability of being able to do this. With less support from management and public protection agencies many frontline workers are particularly vulnerable at this time to labour exploitation, acts of injustice and abuse including gender-based violence” said Omar Faruk Osman, FESTU General Secretary. FESTU and affiliated unions avowed that they will not relent in exposing and reporting those who want to take advantage of our courageous frontline warriors during this difficult time in our history. The organised labour has urged the government of Somalia, members of the business community and the working people of our beloved country to join forces with the international community at all levels to defeat this virus. “We call on the government and the private employers to safeguard workers’ jobs, wages/salaries, benefits and incomes as we continue to battle this virus. In such time of uncertainty, workers and families need to be able to rely on a predictable source of income to support their households and generally cushion themselves against the shocks and negative financial impact created by the pandemic. Anything else will be inhumane” added Osman. FESTU boss stated that: once the critical phase of the pandemic has passed and employees slowly resume work, we call on the government and the owners of enterprises to sustain the focus on hygiene and social distancing that the pandemic warranted. This includes deploying labour inspectors to ensure enforcement and compliance with standard health and safety guidelines”. “This year Somalia will be celebrating its 60th independence anniversary, a reality that would not have been possible without the hard work and sacrifices of workers who fully identified with the liberation struggle. Sadly, Somali workers are yet to enjoy full and unhindered freedom as they continue to face gross human and labour rights abuses. In addition, workers’ organisations still face many uphill battles to function effectively and without interference in the interest of workers. Despite this, workers continue to reject this circumvention of their rights and stand strong” stated Osman. View the full article

The hostile attitude of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) against Turkey is an attempt to disguise it hypocrite policies, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said Thursday, calling on the country to stop its “destructive” agenda by fueling civil wars. In a statement released by ministry spokesperson Hami Aksoy, Ankara called on the UAE to stop the putschist government in Libya and funding terrorists such as al-Shabab in the African Horn. Turkey has been always respectful toward the political and territorial unity of Arab countries, the statement noted, adding that the UAE should “know its place” and stop any hostile attitude against Turkey. A statement by the Emirati Foreign Ministry Thursday expressed “its categorical rejection of the Turkish military intervention” in support of Libya’s United Nations-recognized Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA). Since the beginning of the conflict in Libya, the UAE has been supporting self-renegade Gen. Khalifa Haftar. Turkey also accused the UAE of carrying out a separatist agenda in Yemen. Earlier this week, UAE-backed groups in Yemen, named The Southern Transitional Council (STC), declared that they would be ruling the country’s south with no alignment with the internationally recognized and Saudi Arabia-backed central government.

Kenya has started negotiating a withdrawal from Somalia by 2021. The country is set to leave as Ethiopia’s influence continues to rise. Kenya has achieved a lot since it intervened in 2011. Its intervention was a “game changer”, contributing to a momentum that led to al-Shabaab losing all major Somali cities. But it has fallen short of its goals to subdue al-Shabaab and end terrorism in Kenya. And it will leave a Somalia where its rivals are gaining power and challenging Kenyan national interests. The intervention Kenya’s public motive for intervening in 2011 was self-defence. Its defence forces moved into Somalia to stop al-Shabaab attacks and improve the country’s internal security. Since then, al-Shabaab has lost territorial control over all of Somalia’s larger cities. In 2012, Kenya reclaimed Kismayo. In the same year, it convinced Ethiopia to join the fight. The combined forces of Kenya and Ethiopia were redeployed under the African Union Mission to Somalia. This was crucial in containing al-Shabaab between 2012 and 2016. This combined force weakened the terror group to the point that it is now unable to hold territories within Somali cities. But this still does not mean that the intervention was successful. Since it began, al-Shabaab has launched three large attacks in Kenya. In 2013, it attacked Westgate Mall in Nairobi. In 2015, it attacked Garissa University in northeastern Kenya. And last year it attacked the Dusit Hotel complex, also in the capital. By late 2019, al-Shabaab’s infiltration in Kenya’s northeast intensified, and locals are increasingly accommodating their presence. The situation in the area around the coastal town of Lamu is similar. Al-Shabaab is taking advantage of animosities between the Muslim Bajunis and the Christian elite who settled in the area in the 1970s. Broadly speaking, Kenya has managed to curtail al-Shabaab activities in trouble spots in Kilifi and Mombasa. The country also managed to return a large number of foreign fighters to Somalia without much blow-back. Yet the intervention of 2011 failed to keep Kenya completely safe. Nor did it fully vanquish al-Shabaab. The group is still strong, despite having lost much of its territory. It is richer than ever, propelled by its efficient taxing of the Somali business community, tolled checkpoints and investments, including some in the agricultural sector. Its leadership structure remains intact, with many key officers having served more than four years. Kenya’s dilemmas Kenya’s withdrawal from Somalia will have its own drawbacks. For one, it will abandon its long-time allies inside Somalia. Thus, it will lose leverage with both Addis Ababa and Mogadishu. The government of Somalia’s president, known as Farmajo, has increasingly been at odds with Kenya. The two countries are currently in a diplomatic row over their shared maritime border. Second, Farmajo’s agenda to place his preferred candidates in political office in Somalia’s regional states has challenged Kenya’s allies in Somalia and especially the regional state of Jubaland. It has become clear that Farmajo is willing to draw Ethiopian forces as well as the Somali National Army into his quest to consolidate power by appointing political allies. This has pitched Ethiopia against Kenya, and created tension. Ethiopian forces have recently intervened in support of the Somali government in Mogadishu, targeting the enemies of the Farmajo government. That government has been increasingly willing to use military force against the opposition (as well as the Somali media, and against the regional state of Jubaland, led by Kenyan ally Ahmed Mohamed Islam “Madobe”. Kenya leaves a Somalia where neighbouring Ethiopia plays an increasing role, and also works against Kenya’s former allies. Also, there are stronger totalitarian tendencies on the part of the Somali presidency than before. Its withdrawal will leave Ethiopia with a dominating position in the African Union Mission to Somalia. As Ethiopia’s alliance with Farmajo is strong, this is bad news for the Somali opposition, including allies of Kenya. By withdrawing, Kenya has also let its allies down. It has shown that it cannot be trusted to stay the course. Yet the withdrawal follows a wider pattern in Kenyan politics, wherein the 2011 intervention was the exception. Kenya’s foreign policy strategy has traditionally been passive and restrained. It has held back from the more aggressive politics of all of its neighbours. In the past, this strategy served Kenya well, and the country avoided much of the turmoil that plagued neighbouring countries like Uganda, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, and even Tanzania. A Kenyan withdrawal is thus a return to Kenya’s traditional foreign policy, and saves Kenyan lives and resources. Kenya’s relationship with Ethiopia has been the cornerstone of its regional foreign policy, and a Kenyan withdrawal can repair the relationship. But that will be done on Ethiopia’s terms, enhance Ethiopian power in Somalia and leave Kenya with fewer allies within Somalia. This is the dilemma faced by Kenyan decision-makers today, and their choices will have far-reaching consequences.

Xildhibaan Maxamed Cumar Dalxa, oo ka qeyb qaadanayay barnaamijka kulanka Jimcaha ee shabakada warbaahinta Shabelle, ayaa ku dhaliilay dowladda in kaalmooyinka bani’aadanimo aysan si siman ugu qeybinin gobolada dhibaatooyinka fatahaaduhu ay ka dhacaan ee Soomaaliya. Prof Dalxa ayaa sheegay in taariikhda dalka ay dadka bartay ay kamid tahay “in la siyaasadeeyo kaalmooyinka bani’aadanimo oo loo kala eexdo dadka dhibaatooyinka fatahaaduhu saameeyeen”.
